The pharmaceutical industry, leading global philanthropies and development banks have formed the <a href="https://www.amractionfund.com/">AMR Action Fund</a> – dedicating around €1 billion to help respond to the AMR threat.

Boehringer Ingelheim developed a partnership aimed to improve care and outcomes for respiratory patients in Oxfordshire, UK. Working with local healthcare providers and bringing together their collective skills and expertise, they piloted a multidisciplinary integrated respiratory team that coordinated service provision around the needs of patients. </span></p> <p><span>This partnership approach led to timely, coordinated care closer to home for respiratory patients in the area which showed potential to reduce system costs and resulted in improved patient experience and outcomes.
